Encyclopedia
The 2010 William Hill Greyhound Derby Final took place on 29 May 2010 at Wimbledon Stadium
.
The event was still over 480 metres but Wimbledon had switched the grandstand to the other side of the track creating a different course. Six rounds were to take place and the final saw the field finish within two lengths of each other.
One greyhound Lyreen Mover kennelled at Tony Magnasco’s kennels in Oxfordshire was to reach the final unbeaten for Hungarian trainer Gabor Tenczel. This was the first time an entry had been received outside of the UK or Ireland.
Bandicoot Tipoki moved wide at the start and impeded Krug Ninety Five. There was a battle at the front between Lyreen Mover and Toomaline Jack which lasted all the way to the line. Tipoki however finished well and claimed victory near the line.
Charlie Lister had won his fifth greyhound Derby and equalled the post war record of five wins by Leslie Reynolds.
